LA Fashion Week Spring 2008, Monarchy: Love It or Hate It?

Monarchy attempted the menswear theme that many designers have been dabbling with recently. Only, their route was more boyish than manly. This particular look reminds me a lot of Hansel from the German fairytale. On the runway (or green carpet in this case), it looks whimsical and cute, but on the streets, it would look wacky. Perhaps it would be a fashionable Halloween costume? What do you say?

I like the top part, but those "granny panties" (perfectly put) are just scary.
I'm split. Top is quirky and cute, especially with that hat, but I simply can't get past the shorts. A little longer, mid-thigh, perhaps, and she might be able to pull it off. As it is...Not so much.
